Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.\n\n##### REPORT ON MANAGEMENT’S ASSESSMENT OF INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING TO THESTOCKHOLDERS OF NORWOOD FINANCIAL CORP\n\nManagement of Norwood Financial Corp and its subsidiary (Norwood) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Norwood’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.\n\n27\n\nNorwood’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Norwood; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of Norwood’s management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Norwood’s assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.\n\nBecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.\n\nManagement assessed the effectiveness of Norwood’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. In making this assessment, management used the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework as set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based upon its assessment, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, including controls over the preparation of regulatory financial statements in accordance with all federal and state laws and regulations, is effective based on the criteria established in the Internal Control – Integrated Framework.\n\nOur independent registered public accounting firm, S.R. Snodgrass, P.C., also attested to, and reported on, the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. S.R. Snodgrass, P.C.’s attestation report appears in Part II, Item 8, \"Financial Statements and Supplemental Data.\"\n\n/s/ James O. Donnelly\n\n/s/ John M. McCaffery\n\nJames O. Donnelly\n\nJohn M. McCaffery\n\nPresident and\n\nExecutive Vice President and\n\nChief Executive Officer\n\nChief Financial Officer\n\n \n‎\n\n28\n\nREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM\n\nTo the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Norwood Financial Corp.\n\nOpinion on the Financial Statements\n\nWe have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Norwood Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024; the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended; and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.\n\n \n\nWe have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013, and our report dated March 13, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.\n\nBasis for Opinion\n\nThese financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent, with respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.\n\nWe conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.\n\n29\n\nCritical Audit Matters\n\nThe critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements; and (2) involve our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter, in any way, our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.\n\nAllowance for Credit Losses (ACL)\n\nDescription of the Matter\n\nThe Company’s loan portfolio totaled $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, and the associated ACL was $19.9 million. As discussed in Notes 1 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, estimating an appropriate allowance for credit losses requires management to make certain assumptions about expected losses on loans in the loan portfolio over their remaining contractual life as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Loans that do not share similar risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis, at the balance sheet date. The measurement of expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the amortized cost basis. Management applies qualitative adjustments to reflect the inherent losses that exist in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date that are not reflected in the historical loss experience. Qualitative adjustments are made based upon changes in lending policies and procedures, terms and volume of the loan portfolio, experience and ability of management, volume and severity of problem credits, quality of the loan review system, and concentrations of credit.\n\nWe identified these qualitative adjustments within the ACL as critical audit matters because they involve a high degree of subjectivity. While the determination of these qualitative adjustments includes analysis of observable data over the historical loss period, the judgment required to assess the directionality and magnitude of adjustments is highly subjective. Auditing these complex judgments and assumptions involved especially challenging auditor judgment due to the nature of audit evidence and the nature and extent of effort required to address these matters.\n\nHow We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit\n\nThe primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:\n\nTesting the design, implementation, and operating effectiveness of internal controls over the calculation of the allowance for credit losses, including the qualitative factor adjustments.\n\nTesting the completeness and accuracy of the data inputs used by management as a basis for the qualitative factors by agreeing them to internal and external data sources.\n\nTesting management’s process and evaluating the reasonableness of their inputs and assumptions by evaluating the reasonableness of the qualitative factor adjustments, including the magnitude and directional consistency of the adjustments.\n\nWe have served as the Company’s auditor since 2009.\n\nCranberry Township, Pennsylvania\n\nMarch 13, 2026\n\n30\n\nREPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM\n\nTo the Stockholders and the Board of Directors of Norwood Financial Corp.\n\nOpinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nWe have audited Norwood Financial Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”)’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013.\n\nWe have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024; and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, of the Company; and our report dated March 13, 2026, expressed an unqualified opinion.\n\nBasis for Opinion\n\nThe Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting in the accompanying Report on Management’s Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent, with respect to the Company, in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.\n\nWe conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.\n\n31\n\nDefinition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting\n\nA company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.\n\nBecause of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.\n\nCranberry Township, Pennsylvania\n\nMarch 13, 2026\n\n \n\n32\n\nCONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS\n\nDecember 31,\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\n(In Thousands,

Wayne Bank (Bank) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Bank is a state-chartered bank headquartered in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. The Company derives substantially all of its income from bank-related services which include interest earnings on commercial mortgages, residential real estate mortgages, commercial and consumer loans, as well as interest earnings on investment securities and fees from deposit services to its customers. The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve Board while the Bank is subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities.\n\n \n\nNOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES\n\nPrinciples of Consolidation\n\nThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, WCB Realty Corp., Norwood Investment Corp. and WTRO Properties. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.\n\nEstimates\n\nThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for credit losses and the determination of goodwill impairment.\n\nSubsequent Events\n\nThe Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements.\n\nSignificant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk\n\nMost of the Company’s activities are with customers located within its markets in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the New York Counties of Delaware, Sullivan, Ontario, Otsego and Yates. Note 3 discusses the types of securities that the Company invests in. Note 4 discusses the types of lending that the Company engages in. The Company does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.\n\nConcentrations of Credit Risk\n\nThe Bank operates primarily in Wayne, Pike, Lackawanna, Luzerne and Monroe Counties, Pennsylvania and Delaware, Sullivan, Ontario, Otsego and Yates Counties, New York. Accordingly, the Bank has extended credit primarily to commercial entities and individuals in these areas whose ability to honor their contracts is influenced by the region’s economy. These customers are also the primary depositors of the Bank. The Bank is limited in extending credit by legal lending limits to any single borrower or group of related borrowers.\n\nSecurities\n\nSecurities classified as available for sale are those securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movement in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company’s assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined on the basis of the cost of the specific securities sold, are included in earnings. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using a method which approximates the interest method over the term of the security.\n\nBonds, notes and debentures for which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are reported at cost, adjusted for premiums and discounts that are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the security.\n\nManagement determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates such designation as of each Consolidated Balance Sheet date.\n\n39\n\nAllowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities\n\nThe Bank measures expected credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities when the Bank does not intend to sell, or when it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell, the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Bank evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, the Bank considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this evaluation indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, equal to the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income.\n\nThe allowance for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities is included within Investment securities available-for-sale on the consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded within Provision for credit losses on the consolidated statement of income. Losses are charged against the allowance when the Bank believes the collectability of an available-for-sale security is in jeopardy or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.\n\nAccrued interest receivable on available-for-sale debt securities as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $2,235,000 and $2,091,000, respectively and is included within accrued interest receivable on the consolidated balance sheet. This amount is excluded from the estimate of expected credit losses. Available-for-sale debt securities are typically classified as nonaccrual when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about the further collectability of principal or interest. When available-for-sale debt securities are placed on nonaccrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.\n\nRegulatory Stock\n\nThe Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of its district FHLB according to a predetermined formula. This regulatory stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.\n\nManagement evaluates the regulatory stock for impairment. Management’s determination of whether these investments are impaired is based on their assessment of the ultimate recoverability of their cost rather than by recognizing temporary declines in value. The determination of whether a decline affects the ultimate recoverability of their cost is influenced by criteria such as (1) the significance of the decline in net assets of the FHLB as compared to the capital stock amount for the FHLB and the length of time this situation has persisted, (2) commitments by the FHLB to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to the operating performance of the FHLB, and (3) the impact of legislative and regulatory changes on institutions and, accordingly, on the customer base of the FHLB. Management considers the FHLB’s regulatory capital ratios, liquidity, and the fact that new shares of FHLB stock continue to change hands at the $100 par value. Management believes no credit loss is necessary related to FHLB stock as of December 31, 2025.\n\nLoans Receivable\n\nLoans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are stated at their outstanding unpaid principal balances, net of an allowance for credit losses and any deferred fees. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the yield (interest income) of the related loans. The Company is generally amortizing these amounts over the contractual life of the loan.\n\nThe accrual of interest is generally discontinued when the contractual payment of principal or interest has become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income. Interest received on nonaccrual loans generally is either applied against principal or reported as interest income, according to management’s judgment as to the collectability of principal. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.\n\nAllowance for Credit Losses\n\nThe allowance for credit losses (ACL) is a valuation reserve established and maintained by charges against income and is deducted from the amortized cost basis of loans to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans.  Loans, or portions\n\n40\n\nthereof, are charged off against the ACL when they are deemed uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.\n\nThe ACL is an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of a loan, that considers our historical loss experience, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Determination of an appropriate ACL is inherently subjective and may have significant changes from period to period.\n\nThe methodology for determining the ACL has two main components: evaluation of expected credit losses for certain groups of homogeneous loans that share similar risk characteristics and evaluation of loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans.\n\nThe ACL is measured on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Company’s loan portfolio is segmented by loan types that have similar risk characteristics and behave similarly during economic cycles.\n\nHistorical credit loss experience is the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. We apply historical loss rates to pools of loans with similar risk characteristics. After consideration of the historic loss calculation, management applies qualitative adjustments to reflect the current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts not already reflected in the historical loss information at the balance sheet date. Our reasonable and supportable forecast adjustment is based on a preferred group of macroeconomic indicators used to create projections of economic conditions, obtained from the St. Louis Federal Reserve economic database. The Company selected nine metrics which was correlated with the bank and its peer group’s historical loss patterns. The adjustments are then weighted for relevance before applying to each pool. Future macroeconomic forecast adjustments are then obtained using an eight-quarter moving average for each metric for the reasonable and supportable period. Each quarter, management reviews factors and applies any additional adjustments based on local and current conditions\n\nThe Bank has elected to exclude accrued interest receivable from the measurement of its ACL. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, any outstanding accrued interest is reversed against interest income. The total accrued interest receivable as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $9,250,000 and $8,466,000, respectively.\n\nThe ACL for individual loans begins with the use of normal credit review procedures to identify whether a loan no longer shares similar risk characteristics with other pooled loans and therefore, should be individually assessed. We evaluate all commercial loans that meet the following criteria: (1) when it is determined that foreclosure is probable, (2) substandard, doubtful and nonperforming loans when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, (3) when it is determined by management that a loan does not share similar risk characteristics with other loans. Specific reserves are established based on the following three acceptable methods for measuring the ACL: 1) the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s original effective interest rate; 2) the loan’s observable market price; or 3) the fair value of the collateral when the loan is collateral dependent. Our individual loan evaluations consist primarily of the fair value of collateral method because most of our loans are collateral dependent. Collateral values are discounted to consider disposition costs when appropriate. A specific reserve is established or a charge-off is taken if the fair value of the loan is less than the loan balance.\n\nAllowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures\n\nThe Bank estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Bank is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Bank. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through the provision for credit losses. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life.\n\nPurchased Credit Deteriorated (“PCD”) Loans\n\nThe Bank has purchased loans, some of which have experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination. A loan is considered a PCD loan if, at acquisition, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. PCD loans are recorded at the amount paid. An allowance for credit losses is determined using the same methodology as other loans held for investment. The initial allowance for credit losses determined on a collective basis is allocated to individual loans. The sum of the loan’s purchase price and allowance for credit losses becomes its initial amortized cost basis. The difference between the initial amortized cost basis and the par value of the loan is a noncredit discount or premium, which is amortized into interest income over the life of the loan. Subsequent changes to the allowance for credit losses are recorded through the provision for credit losses.\n\nMortgage Servicing Rights\n\nServicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through the sale of financial assets. Capitalized servicing rights are reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest income in proportion to, and over the\n\n41\n\nperiod of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon a third party appraisal. Fair value is determined using prices for similar assets with similar characteristics, when available, or based upon discounted cash flows using market-based assumptions. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount. The Company’s loan servicing assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were not impaired. Total servicing assets included in other assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, were $238,000 and $199,000, respectively.\n\nPremises and Equipment\n\nLand is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is calculated principally on the straight-line method over the respective assets estimated useful lives as follows:\n\nYears\n\nBuildings and improvements\n\n10 - 40\n\nFurniture and equipment\n\n3 - 10\n\nLeases\n\nThe Company applies a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record, for all leases with a lease term of more than 12 months, an asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a liability to make lease payments. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a practical expedient is available whereby a lessee may elect, by class of underlying asset, not to recognize an ROU asset or lease liability. At inception, lessees must classify all leases as either finance or operating based on five criteria. Balance sheet recognition of finance and operating leases is similar, but the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement, as well as the effect on the statement of cash flows, differs depending on the lease classification. See Note 8 for related disclosures.\n\nTransfers of Financial Assets\n\nTransfers of financial assets, including loan and loan participation sales, are accounted for as sales, when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity or the ability to unilaterally cause the holder to return specific assets.\n\nForeclosed Real Estate\n\nReal estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure establishing a new cost basis. After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the real estate is carried at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses.\n\nForeclosed assets acquired in settlement of loans are carried at fair value less estimated costs to sell and are included in foreclosed real estate owned on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, foreclosed real estate owned totaled $771,000 and $0, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has initiated formal foreclosure proceedings on 5 consumer residential mortgage loans with an outstanding balance of $172,000.\n\nBank Owned Life Insurance\n\nThe Company invests in bank owned life insurance (BOLI) as a source of funding for employee benefit expenses. BOLI involves the purchasing of life insurance by the Bank on a select group of employees. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the policies. This life insurance investment is carried at the cash surrender value of the underlying policies. Income from the increase in cash surrender value of the policies or from death benefits realized is included in other income on the Consolidated Statements of Income.\n\nGoodwill\n\nIn connection with three acquisitions the Company recorded goodwill in the amount of $29.3 million, representing the excess of amounts paid over the fair value of net assets of the institutions acquired. Goodwill is tested and deemed impaired when the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value. The value of the goodwill can change in the future. We expect the value of the goodwill to decrease if there is a significant decrease in the franchise value of the Bank. If an impairment loss is determined in the future, we will reflect the loss as an expense for the period in which the impairment is determined, leading to a reduction of our net income for that period by the amount of the impairment loss. The Company had a qualitative assessment of goodwill completed as of May 31, 2025. No impairment was recognized for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.\n\n42\n\nOther Intangible Assets\n\nAt December 31, 2025, the Company had other intangible assets of $98,000, which is net of accumulated amortization of $1,656,000. These intangible assets will continue to be amortized using the sum-of-the-years digits method of amortization over ten years. At December 31, 2024, the Company had other intangible assets of $152,000, which was net of accumulated amortization of $1,602,000. Amortization expense related to other intangible assets was $54,000 and $69,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the estimated future amortization expense for the core deposit intangible is as follows (in thousands):\n\n2026\n\n$\n\n38\n\n2027\n\n26\n\n2028\n\n19\n\n2029\n\n11\n\n2030\n\n4\n\nThereafter\n\n—\n\n$\n\n98\n\nIncome Taxes\n\nDeferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. These differences are measured at the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As changes in tax laws or rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the provision for income taxes.\n\nThe Company and its subsidiary file a consolidated federal income tax return. The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.\n\nThe Company analyzes each tax position taken in its tax returns and determines the likelihood that the position will be realized. Only tax positions that are “more-likely-than-not” to be realized can be recognized in an entity’s financial statements. For tax positions that do not meet this recognition threshold, an entity will record an unrecognized tax benefit for the difference between the position taken on the tax return and the amount recognized in the financial statements. The Company does not have any unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2025 or 2024, or during the years then ended. No unrecognized tax benefits are expected to arise within the next twelve months.\n\nAdvertising Costs\n\nAdvertising costs are expensed as incurred.\n\nEarnings per Share\n\nBasic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period less any unvested restricted shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options and are determined using the treasury stock method. Treasury shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.\n\nEmployee Benefit Plans\n\nThe Company has a defined contributory profit-sharing plan which includes provisions of a 401(k) plan. The Company’s contributions are expensed as the cost is incurred.\n\nThe Company has several supplemental executive retirement plans. To fund the benefits under these plans, the Company is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on the participants.\n\nThe Company provides pension benefits to eligible employees. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum required contributions annually.\n\n43\n\nInterest Rate Derivatives\n\nThe Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments.  \n\nStock Option Plans\n\nThe Company recognizes the value of share-based payment transactions as compensation costs in the financial statements over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. The fair value of the share-based payments for stock options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company used the modified-prospective transition method to record compensation expense. Under the modified-prospective method, companies are required to record compensation cost for new and modified awards over the related vesting period of such awards and record compensation cost prospectively for the unvested portion, at the date of adoption, of previously issued and outstanding awards over the remaining vesting period of such awards. No change to prior periods presented is permitted under the modified-prospective method.\n\nRestricted Stock\n\nThe Company recognizes compensation cost related to restricted stock based on the market price of the stock at the grant date over the vesting period. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determines the fair value of restricted stock under the Company’s 2024 Equity Incentive Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of the restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.\n\nCash Flow Information\n\nFor the purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks and federal funds sold.\n\nOff-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments\n\nIn the ordinary course of business, the Company has entered into off-balance sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and commitments to sell loans. Such financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheets when they become receivable or payable.\n\nTrust Assets\n\nAssets held by the Company in a fiduciary capacity for customers are not included in the financial statements since such items are not assets of the Company. Trust income is reported on the accrual method under other income.\n\nTreasury Stock\n\nCommon shares repurchased are recorded as treasury stock at cost and are released using the average cost method.\n\nComprehensive Income (Loss)\n\nAccounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and defined benefit pension obligations, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet. Such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.\n\nRevenue Recognition\n\nUnder ASC Topic 606, management determined that the primary sources of revenue emanating from interest and dividend income on loans and investments along with noninterest revenue resulting from investment securities gains, loans servicing, gains on loans sold and earnings on bank-owned life insurance are not within the scope of this Topic.\n\n44\n\nThe following presents noninterest income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the year ended December 31:\n\n(dollars in thousands)\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nNoninterest Income\n\nIn-scope of Topic 606:\n\nService charges on deposit accounts\n\n$\n\n470\n\n$\n\n453\n\nATM Fees\n\n242\n\n424\n\nOverdraft Fees\n\n1,571\n\n1,422\n\nSafe deposit box rental\n\n89\n\n88\n\nLoan related service fees\n\n768\n\n690\n\nDebit card\n\n2,369\n\n2,314\n\nFiduciary activities\n\n1,033\n\n943\n\nCommissions on mutual funds & annuities\n\n708\n\n407\n\nGain on sales of other real estate owned\n\n—\n\n32\n\nOther income\n\n749\n\n626\n\nNoninterest Income (in-scope of Topic 606)\n\n7,999\n\n7,399\n\nOut-of-scope of Topic 606:\n\nNet realized (losses) gains on sales of securities\n\n—\n\n(19,962)\n\nLoan servicing fees\n\n204\n\n161\n\nGain on sales of loans\n\n326\n\n195\n\nEarnings on and proceeds from bank-owned life insurance\n\n1,088\n\n1,056\n\nNoninterest Income (out-of-scope of Topic 606)\n\n1,618\n\n(18,550)\n\nTotal Noninterest Income\n\n$\n\n9,617\n\n$\n\n(11,151)\n\n###### Segment Reporting\n\nThe Company acts as an independent community financial services provider and offers traditional banking related financial services to individual, business and government customers. Through its Community Office and automated teller machine network, the Company offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of safe deposit services. The Company also performs personal, corporate, pension and fiduciary services through its Trust Department.\n\nManagement does not separately allocate expenses, including the cost of funding loan demand, between the commercial, retail, mortgage banking and trust operations of the Company.\n\nReclassification of Comparative Amounts\n\nCertain comparative amounts for the prior year have been reclassified to conform to current-year classifications. Such reclassifications had no material effect on net income or stockholders’ equity.\n\nAccounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted\n\nIn December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which provides for improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. This guidance is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, for all other entities. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.\n\nNew Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted\n\nIn November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. This ASU requires disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. Specific disclosures are required for (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas producing activities. The amendments in this Update do not change or remove current expense disclosure requirements. However, the amendments affect where this information appears in the notes to financial statements because entities are required to include certain current disclosures in the same tabular format disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements in the amendments. The amendments in ASU 2024-03 apply only to public business entities and are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.\n\n45\n\nIn January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which revises the effective date of [ASU 2024-03](https://www.fasb.org/Page/Document?pdf=ASU 2024-03.pdf&title=ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATE 2024-03—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses) (on disclosures about disaggregation of income statement expenses) “to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt the guidance in annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.” Entities within the ASU’s scope are permitted to early adopt the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.\n\nIn September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software that is developed using an incremental and iterative method (e.g., agile method). The guidance removes all references to project stages in ASC 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance specifies that the property, plant, and equipment disclosure requirements under ASC 360-10 apply to capitalized software costs accounted for under ASC 350-40, regardless of how those costs are presented in the financial statements. The guidance, which applies to all entities, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities may apply the guidance using a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.\n\nIn 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which (1) refines the scope of the guidance on derivatives in ASC 815 (Issue 1) and (2) clarifies the guidance on share-based payments from a customer in ASC 606 (Issue 2). The ASU is intended to address concerns about the application of derivative accounting to contracts that have features based on the operations or activities of one of the parties to the contract and to reduce diversity in the accounting for share-based payments in revenue contracts. The ASU adds a new scope exception for certain contracts that are not traded on an exchange and have an underlying that is based on operations or activities specific to one of the parties to the contract. This ASU clarifies that when an entity has a right to receive a share-based payment from its customer in exchange for the transfer of goods or services, the share-based payment should be accounted for as noncash consideration within the scope of ASC 606. ASU 2025-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.\n\nIn November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326), which amends the guidance in Topic 326 to expand the population of acquired financial assets subject to the gross-up approach to include loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired without credit deterioration and deemed “seasoned.” All non-purchased credit deteriorated loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-purchased credit deteriorated loans (excluding credit cards) are considered to be seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. ASU 2025-08 should be applied prospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company plans to adopt the ASU effective January 1, 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements. While the Company does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on total shareholders’ equity, the ASU is expected to affect the accounting presentation of certain purchased loans and the related allowance for credit losses at acquisition.\n\nIn November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815 to more closely align hedge accounting with the economics of an entity’s risk management activities. The amendments, among other things, provide more flexibility for cash flow hedges and hedging of raw materials and other nonfinancial assets, as well as simplify hedge accounting for flexible debt and foreign currency debt. ASU 2025-09 should be applied prospectively for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. For all other entities, the ASU is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.\n\nIn December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, to address 33 issues that amend the Codification to (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements that affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. The amendments make the Codification easier to understand and apply. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on its financial statements.\n\n \n\n46\n\n## NOTE 3 - SECURITIES\n\nThe amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, approximate fair value, and allowance for credit losses of securities available for sale were as follows:\n\nDecember 31, 2025\n\nGross\n\nGross\n\nAllowance\n\nAmortized\n\nUnrealized\n\nUnrealized\n\nfor Credit\n\nFair\n\nCost\n\nGains\n\nLosses\n\nLosses\n\nValue\n\n(In Thousands)\n\nAVAILABLE FOR SALE:\n\nU.S. Treasury securities\n\n$\n\n20,834\n\n$\n\n32\n\n$\n\n(9)\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n20,857\n\nU.S. Government agencies\n\n8,000\n\n26\n\n(351)\n\n—\n\n7,675\n\nStates and political subdivisions\n\n107,164\n\n1\n\n(14,665)\n\n—\n\n92,500\n\nCorporate obligations\n\n13,545\n\n96\n\n(90)\n\n—\n\n13,551\n\nMortgage-backed securities-\n\ngovernment sponsored entities\n\n286,950\n\n2,820\n\n(15,571)\n\n—\n\n274,199\n\nTotal debt securities\n\n$\n\n436,493\n\n$\n\n2,975\n\n$\n\n(30,686)\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n408,782\n\nDecember 31, 2024\n\nGross\n\nGross\n\nAllowance\n\nAmortized\n\nUnrealized\n\nUnrealized\n\nfor Credit\n\nFair\n\nCost\n\nGains\n\nLosses\n\nLosses\n\nValue\n\n(In Thousands)\n\nAVAILABLE FOR SALE:\n\nU.S. Treasury securities\n\n$\n\n19,623\n\n$\n\n12\n\n$\n\n(37)\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n19,598\n\nU.S. Government agencies\n\n11,998\n\n—\n\n(634)\n\n—\n\n11,364\n\nStates and political subdivisions\n\n106,677\n\n—\n\n(19,403)\n\n—\n\n87,274\n\nMortgage-backed securities-\n\ngovernment sponsored entities\n\n301,992\n\n115\n\n(22,497)\n\n—\n\n279,610\n\nTotal debt securities\n\n$\n\n440,290\n\n$\n\n127\n\n$\n\n(42,571)\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n397,846\n\nThe following tables summarize debt securities available for sale in a loss position for which an allowance for credit losses has not been recorded, aggregated by security type and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position (in thousands): \n\nDecember 31, 2025\n\nLess than 12 Months\n\n12 Months or More\n\nTotal\n\nFair Value\n\nUnrealized Losses\n\nFair Value\n\nUnrealized Losses\n\nFair Value\n\nUnrealized Losses\n\nU.S. Treasury securities\n\n$\n\n14,837\n\n$\n\n(9)\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n14,837\n\n$\n\n(9)\n\nU.S. Government agencies\n\n—\n\n—\n\n4,649\n\n(351)\n\n4,649\n\n(351)\n\nStates and political subdivisions\n\n—\n\n—\n\n89,462\n\n(14,665)\n\n89,462\n\n(14,665)\n\nCorporate obligations\n\n5,556\n\n(90)\n\n—\n\n—\n\n5,556\n\n(90)\n\nMortgage-backed securities-government sponsored entities\n\n11,979\n\n(62)\n\n103,744\n\n(15,509)\n\n115,723\n\n(15,571)\n\n$\n\n32,372\n\n$\n\n(161)\n\n$\n\n197,855\n\n$\n\n(30,525)\n\n$\n\n230,227\n\n$\n\n(30,686)\n\n47\n\nDecember 31, 2024\n\nLess than 12 Months\n\n12 Months or More\n\nTotal\n\nFair Value\n\nUnrealized Losses\n\nFair Value\n\nUnrealized Losses\n\nFair Value\n\nUnrealized Losses\n\nU.S. Treasury securities\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n9,961\n\n$\n\n(37)\n\n$\n\n9,961\n\n$\n\n(37)\n\nU.S. Government agencies\n\n6,988\n\n(10)\n\n4,376\n\n(624)\n\n11,364\n\n(634)\n\nStates and political subdivisions\n\n1,164\n\n(21)\n\n85,620\n\n(19,382)\n\n86,784\n\n(19,403)\n\nMortgage-backed securities-government sponsored entities\n\n177,674\n\n(1,313)\n\n94,237\n\n(21,184)\n\n271,911\n\n(22,497)\n\n$\n\n185,826\n\n$\n\n(1,344)\n\n$\n\n194,194\n\n$\n\n(41,227)\n\n$\n\n380,020\n\n$\n\n(42,571)\n\nThe Company has 9 debt securities in the less than twelve month category and 180 debt securities in the twelve months or more category as of December 31, 2025. In management’s opinion, the unrealized losses on securities reflect changes in interest rates subsequent to the acquisition of specific securities. The Company does not intend to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position and is unlikely to be required to sell these securities before a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity. The Company concluded that the decline in fair value of these securities was not indicative of a credit loss. No securities in the portfolio required an allowance for credit losses to be recorded during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. In December 2024, the Company did decide to sell a portion of the securities portfolio in order to take advantage of higher yields that could be attained on reinvesting those bonds. The goal was to increase the overall portfolio yield and thus increase future net income for the Company.\n\nThe amortized cost and fair value of debt securities as of December 31, 2025 by contractual maturity, are shown below.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized charge offs of $0 on commercial rentals and $0 on residential rentals, the highest concentrations in 2024.\n\nDuring 2025, the Company sold residential mortgage loans totaling $12,519,000. During 2024, the Company sold residential mortgage loans totaling $9,257,000. Gross realized gains and gross realized losses on sales of residential mortgage loans were $326,000 and $0, respectively, in 2025 and $195,000 and $0, respectively, in 2024. The proceeds from the sales of residential mortgage loans totaled $13,444,000 and $9,452,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the outstanding value of loans serviced for others totaled $70.1 million and $63.9 million, respectively\n\nManagement uses an eight point internal risk rating system to monitor the credit quality of the overall loan portfolio. The first four categories are considered not criticized, and are aggregated as “Pass” rated. The criticized rating categories utilized by management generally follow bank regulatory definitions. The Special Mention category includes assets that are currently protected but are potentially weak, resulting in an undue and unwarranted credit risk, but not to the point of justifying a Substandard classification. Loans in the Substandard category have well-defined weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt, and have a distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained if the weaknesses are not corrected. Loans greater than 90 days past due are considered Substandard unless full payment is expected. Any portion of a loan that has been charged off is placed in the Loss category.\n\nTo help ensure that risk ratings are accurate and reflect the present and future capacity of borrowers to repay a loan as agreed, the Company has a structured loan rating process with several layers of internal and external oversight. Generally, consumer and residential mortgage loans are included in the Pass categories unless a specific action, such as nonperformance, repossession, or death occurs to raise awareness of a possible credit event. The Company’s Loan Review Department is responsible for the timely and accurate risk rating of the loans on an ongoing basis. Every credit which must be approved by Loan Committee or the Board of Directors is assigned a risk rating at time of consideration.

comprised of the Company’s historical loss experience and peer data. The Company chose to apply qualitative factors based on “quantitative metrics” which link the quantifiable metrics to historical changes in the qualitative factor categories. The Company also chose to apply economic projections to the model. A select group of economic indicators was utilized which was then correlated to the historical loss experience of the Company and its peers. Based on the correlation results, the economic adjustments are then weighted for relevancy and applied to the individual loan pools.\n\nDuring the year ended December 31, 2025, the allowance for credit losses increased from $19,843,000 to $19,882,000. This was an increase of $39,000. This increase was due primarily to an increase in net charge offs, offset by a decrease in loans individually analyzed.\n\nDuring the year ended December 31, 2024, the allowance for credit losses increased from $18,968,000 to $19,843,000. This $875,000 increase in the required allowance was due primarily to loans individually evaluated, along with net charge-offs for the year.\n\nOccasionally, the Bank modifies loans to borrowers in financial distress by providing principal forgiveness, term extension, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or interest rate reduction. When principal forgiveness is provided, the amount of forgiveness is charged-off against the allowance for credit losses.\n\n56\n\nIn some cases, the Bank provides multiple types of concessions on one loan. Typically, one type of concession, such as a term extension, is granted initially. If the borrower continues to experience financial difficulty, another concession, such as principal forgiveness, may be granted.

At December 31, 2025, there was $14,714,000 of borrowings outstanding on this line. There was $26,732,000 of borrowings outstanding on this line of credit at December 31, 2024. The Company has a line of credit commitment available from Atlantic Community Bankers Bank for $7,000,000, which expires on June 30, 2026. There were no borrowings under this line of credit at December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company has a line of credit commitment available from PNC Bank for $10,000,000 at December 31, 2025.

Advances from the FHLB are secured by qualifying assets of the Bank. The total available credit from the Federal Reserve Bank was $1,762,000, of which $0 was outstanding at December 31, 2025.\n\n \n\nNOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASES\n\nThe Company leases seven office locations and one back-office facility under operating leases. Several assumptions and judgments were made when applying the requirements of Topic 842 to the Company’s existing lease commitments, including the allocation of consideration in the contracts between lease and nonlease components, determination of the lease term, and determination of the discount rate used in calculating the present value of the lease payments.\n\nThe Company has elected to account for the variable nonlease components, such as common area maintenance charges, utilities, real estate taxes, and insurance, separately from the lease component. Such variable nonlease components are reported in net occupancy expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income when paid. These variable nonlease components were excluded from the calculation of the present value of the remaining lease payments, therefore, they are not included in other assets and other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The lease cost associated with the operating leases for the year ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, amounted to $794,000 and $764,000 respectively. The right-of-use asset associated with operating leases amounted to $3,298,000 and $3,773,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The lease liability associated with operating leases amounted to $3,404,000 and $3,891,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nCertain of the Company’s leases contain options to renew the lease after the initial term. Management considers the Company’s historical pattern of exercising renewal options on leases and the positive performance of the leased locations, when determining whether it is reasonably certain that the leases will be renewed. If management concludes that there is reasonable certainty about the renewal option, it is included in the calculation of the remaining term of each applicable lease. The discount rate utilized in calculating the present value of the remaining lease payments for each lease was the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh advance rate corresponding to the remaining maturity of the lease.\n\n61\n\nThe following table presents the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for the leases outstanding at December 31, 2025 and 2024:\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\n(In Thousands)\n\nWeighted-average remaining term\n\n8.5\n\n8.8\n\nWeighted-average discount rate\n\n3.47%\n\n2.70%\n\nThe following table presents the undiscounted cash flows due related to operating leases as of December 31, 2025, along with a reconciliation to the discounted amount recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:\n\n \n\nUndiscounted cash flows due (in thousands)\n\nOperating\n\n2026\n\n$\n\n612\n\n2027\n\n495\n\n2028\n\n495\n\n2029\n\n448\n\n2030\n\n402\n\n2031 and thereafter\n\n1,478\n\nTotal undiscounted cash flows\n\n3,930\n\nDiscount on cash flows\n\n526\n\nTotal lease liabilities\n\n$\n\n3,404\n\nCash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities was $750,000 and $690,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nUnder Topic 842, the lessee can elect to not record on the Consolidated Balance Sheets a lease whose term is twelve months or less and does not include a purchase option that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no leases that had a term of twelve months or less.\n\n \n\nNOTE 9 – EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS\n\nThe Company has a defined contributory profit-sharing plan which includes provisions of a 401(k) plan. The plan permits employees to make pre-tax contributions, not to exceed the limits set by the Internal Revenue Service. The amount of contributions to the plan, including matching contributions, is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. All employees over the age of 21 are eligible to participate in the plan and receive Company contributions after 90 days of employment. Eligible employees are able to contribute to the Plan at the beginning of the first quarterly period after their date of employment. Employee contributions vest immediately, and any Company contributions are fully vested after four years. The Company’s contributions are expensed as the cost is incurred, funded currently, and amounted to $1,536,000 and $1,367,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nThe Company has several non-qualified supplemental executive retirement plans (SERPs) for the benefit of certain executive officers and former officers. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, other liabilities include $3,658,000 and $3,669,000 accrued under the SERPs. Compensation expense includes approximately $451,000 and $444,000 relating to the SERPs for 2025 and 2024, respectively. To fund the benefits under the SERPs, the Company is the owner of single premium life insurance policies on participants in the non-qualified retirement plan. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the cash value of these policies was $46,089,000 and $46,657,000, respectively.\n\nThe Company provides postretirement benefits in the form of split-dollar life arrangements to employees who meet the eligibility requirements. The net periodic postretirement benefit income included in salaries and employee benefits was $52,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the net periodic postretirement benefit expense included in salaries and employee benefits was $85,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.\n\nFASB authoritative guidance on accounting for deferred compensation and postretirement benefit aspects of endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements requires the recognition of a liability and related compensation expense for endorsement split-dollar life insurance that provides a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods. The life insurance policies purchased for the purpose of providing such benefits do not effectively settle an entity’s obligation to the employee. Accordingly, the entity must recognize a liability and related compensation expense during the employee’s active service period based on the future cost of insurance to be incurred during the employee’s retirement. This expense is included in the SERP plan expense for 2025 and 2024 discussed above. If the entity has agreed to provide the employee with a death benefit, then the liability for the future death benefit should be recognized by following the FASB authoritative guidance on employer’s accounting for postretirement benefits other than pensions. The accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was $1,851,000 and $1,903,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\n62\n\nCertain key executives have change in control agreements with the Company. These agreements provide certain potential benefits in the event of termination of employment following a change in control.\n\nThe Company participates in the Pentegra Multiemployer Defined Benefit Pension Plan (EIN 13-5645888 and Plan # 333) as a result of its acquisition of North Penn. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s Plan was 104.8% and 101.8% funded, respectively, and total contributions made are not more than 5% of the total contributions to the Plan. The Company’s expense related to the Plan was $5,000 in 2025 and $7,000 in 2024. During the plan years ending December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company made contributions of $5,000 and $7,000, respectively.\n\nAs a result of its acquisition of Delaware Bancshares, Inc., the Company is a member of the New York State Bankers Retirement System. Substantially all full-time employees who were former employees of Delaware are covered under this defined benefit pension plan (the “Delaware Plan”). The Company’s funding policy is to contribute at least the minimum required contribution annually. Pension cost is computed using the projected unit credit actuarial cost method. The Delaware Plan is closed to new participants and accrued benefits are frozen.\n\nThe following table sets forth the projected benefit obligation and change in plan assets for the Delaware Plan at December 31:\n\n(in Thousands)\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nChange in projected benefit obligation:\n\nProjected benefit obligation at beginning of year\n\n$\n\n(5,435)\n\n$\n\n(5,692)\n\nService cost\n\n—\n\n—\n\nInterest cost\n\n(296)\n\n(283)\n\nAssumption changes\n\n(75)\n\n254\n\nActuarial (gain) loss\n\n19\n\n(155)\n\nBenefits paid\n\n430\n\n441\n\nBenefit obligation at end of year\n\n$\n\n(5,357)\n\n$\n\n(5,435)\n\nChange in plan assets:\n\nFair value of plan assets at beginning of year\n\n$\n\n4,565\n\n$\n\n4,976\n\nActual return on plan assets\n\n502\n\n128\n\nEmployer contributions\n\n29\n\n—\n\nExpenses\n\n(91)\n\n(98)\n\nBenefits paid\n\n(430)\n\n(441)\n\nFair value of assets at end of year\n\n4,575\n\n4,565\n\nFunded status at end of year\n\n$\n\n(782)\n\n$\n\n(870)\n\nThe Delaware Plan paid $430,000 and $441,000 in benefit payments in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Estimated benefit payments under the Delaware Plan are expected to be approximately $460,000, $448,000, $435,000, $424,000 and $417,000 for the next five years. Payments are expected to be approximately $2,052,000 in total for the five-year period ending December 31, 2035. The Company was required to make a contribution of $29,000 to the Delaware Plan in 2025 and was not required to make any contributions to the Delaware Plan in 2024. The decrease in the projected discount rate from 5.68% to 5.52% increased the projected benefit obligation for the year ended December 31, 2025 by approximately $75,000.\n\nThe accumulated benefit obligation for the Delaware Plan was $5,357,000 and $5,435,000 at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\nThe following table sets forth the amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nTransition asset\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\nPrior service credit\n\n—\n\n—\n\n(Loss) gain\n\n694\n\n520\n\nTotal\n\n$\n\n694\n\n$\n\n520\n\n63\n\nNet pension cost (income) included the following components (in thousands):\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nService cost benefits earned during the period\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\nInterest cost on projected benefit obligation\n\n296\n\n283\n\nActual return on assets\n\n(181)\n\n(229)\n\nNet amortization and deferral\n\n—\n\n(5)\n\nNet periodic pension cost (income)\n\n$\n\n115\n\n$\n\n49\n\nThe weighted average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligation at December 31 are as follows:\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nDiscount rate\n\n5.52\n\n%\n\n5.68\n\n%\n\nThe weighted average assumptions used to determine the net periodic pension cost at December 31 are as follows:\n\naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nDiscount rate\n\n5.68\n\n%\n\n5.18\n\n%\n\nExpected long-term return on plan assets\n\n6.50\n\n%\n\n6.50\n\n%\n\nRate of compensation increase\n\n—\n\n%\n\n—\n\n%\n\nThe expected long-term return on plan assets was determined based upon expected returns on individual asset types included in the asset portfolio.\n\nThe New York Bankers Retirement System’s (“System”) overall investment strategy is to invest in a diversified portfolio to manage the variability between the assets and projected liabilities of underfunded pension plans. Substantially all of the System’s assets are in one fund, Commingled Pensions Trust Fund (LDI Diversified Balanced) of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB LDI Diversified Balanced Fund” or the “Fund”). The Fund is a collective investment fund managed by the Trustee under the Declaration of Trust. The Trustee is the Fund’s manager and makes day-to-day investment decisions for the Fund. The Fund is a group trust within the meaning of Internal Revenue Service Revenue Ruling 81-100, as amended. In reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws, neither the Fund nor the Fund’s Units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or any state securities commission. Because the Fund is not subject to registration under federal or state securities laws, certain protections that might otherwise be provided to investors in registered funds are not available to investors in the Fund. However, as a bank-sponsored collective investment trust holding qualified retirement plan assets, the Fund is required to comply with applicable provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the Trustee is subject to supervision and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Department of Labor.\n\nThe Fund employs a liability driven investing (“LDI”) strategy for pension plans that are seeking a solution that is balanced between growth and hedging. The Bloomberg Barclays Long A U.S. Corporate Index, the Fund’s primary liability-performance benchmark, is used as a proxy for plan projected liabilities. The growth-oriented portion of the Fund invests in a mix of asset classes that the Fund’s Trustee believes will collectively maximize total risk-adjusted return through a combination of capital appreciation and income. This portion of the Fund will comprise between 35% and 90% of the portfolio and will invest directly or indirectly via underlying funds in a broad mix of global equity, credit, global fixed income, real estate and cash-plus strategies. The remaining portion of the Fund, between 10% and 65% of the portfolio, provides exposure to U.S. long duration fixed income and is used to minimize volatility relative to a plan’s projected liabilities. This portion of the Fund will invest directly or indirectly via underlying funds in investment grade corporate bonds and securities issued by the U.S. Treasury and its agencies or instrumentalities.\n\nAt December 31, 2025 and 2024, the portfolio was substantially managed by one investment firm who manages approximately 98% and 96%, respectively, of the System’s assets. Also, at December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately $3.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, of System’s assets in the short-term investment fund (STIF) account had not yet been allocated to an investment firm, nor deployed for benefit payments or expenses. These amounts have been included within cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.\n\nAt December 31, 2025 and 2024, the System had an investment concentration of approximately 98% and 96%, respectively, of its total portfolio in the JPMCB LDI Diversified Balanced Fund, a commingled pension trust fund managed by one investment firm.\n\n \n\n64\n\n## NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES\n\nThe components of the provision for federal income taxes are as follows:\n\nYears Ended December 31,\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\n(In Thousands)\n\nCurrent\n\n$\n\n7,358\n\n$\n\n27\n\nDeferred\n\n(94)\n\n(125)\n\n$\n\n7,264\n\n$\n\n(98)\n\nDeferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in the recognition of revenue and expenses for tax reporting and financial statement purposes, principally because certain items, such as the allowance for credit losses and loan fees are recognized in different periods for financial reporting and tax return purposes. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a $2,458,000 net operating loss carryforward that will begin to expire by December 31, 2035. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had a $0 net operating loss carryforward that has no expiration date. A valuation allowance has not been established for deferred tax assets. Realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset will be realized. Deferred tax assets are recorded in other assets.\n\nIncome tax expense of the Company is less than the amounts computed by applying statutory federal income tax rates to income before income taxes because of the following:\n\nPercentage of Income\n\nBefore Income Taxes\n\nYear Ended December 31,\n\n2025\n\nAmount\n\nPercent\n\nU.S. federal statutory tax rate\n\n$\n\n7,354\n\n21.0\n\n%\n\nState and local income taxes, net of federal income tax effect (a)\n\n51\n\n0.1\n\nNontaxable or nondeductible items\n\nTax exempt interest income, net of interest expense disallowance\n\n(436)\n\n(1.2)\n\nEarnings and proceeds on life insurance\n\n(228)\n\n(0.7)\n\nNondeductible merger costs\n\n178\n\n0.5\n\nOther\n\n62\n\n0.2\n\nEffect of changes in tax laws or rates enacted in the current period\n\n—\n\n—\n\nOther adjustments\n\n283\n\n0.8\n\n$\n\n7,264\n\n20.7\n\n%\n\n(a) State taxes in New York made up the majority (greater than 50 percent) of the tax effect in this category\n\nPercentage of Income\n\nBefore Income Taxes\n\nYear Ended December 31,\n\n2024\n\nTax at statutory rates\n\n21.0\n\n%\n\nTax exempt interest income, net of interest expense disallowance\n\n157.0\n\nEarnings and proceeds on life insurance\n\n86.0\n\nState tax expense\n\n(193.5)\n\nOther\n\n(32.5)\n\n38.0\n\n%\n\n65\n\nThe net deferred tax asset included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets includes the following amounts of deferred tax assets and liabilities:\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\n(In Thousands)\n\nDeferred tax assets:\n\nAllowance for credit losses\n\n$\n\n4,748\n\n$\n\n4,751\n\nDeferred compensation\n\n862\n\n860\n\nCore deposit intangible\n\n117\n\n145\n\nPension liability\n\n317\n\n292\n\nNet operating loss carryforward\n\n579\n\n745\n\nCurrent year net operating loss carry forward\n\n—\n\n1,125\n\nPurchase price adjustment\n\n925\n\n954\n\nOperating lease liability\n\n802\n\n—\n\nNet unrealized loss on securities\n\n5,819\n\n8,913\n\nOther\n\n3,478\n\n2,966\n\nTotal Deferred Tax Assets\n\n17,647\n\n20,751\n\nDeferred tax liabilities:\n\nPremises and equipment\n\n1,278\n\n1,451\n\nDeferred loan fees\n\n719\n\n1,495\n\nROU asset\n\n777\n\n—\n\nNet unrealized gain on pension liability\n\n152\n\n109\n\n67\n\n—\n\nTotal Deferred Tax Liabilities\n\n2,993\n\n3,055\n\nNet Deferred Tax Asset\n\n$\n\n14,654\n\n$\n\n17,696\n\nIncome taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal and state jurisdictions are as follows:\n\nFor the years ended\n\nDecember 31,\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nTax summary\n\n($ in thousands)\n\nUS federal\n\n$\n\n2,750\n\n$\n\n2,360\n\nState:\n\nNew York\n\n265\n\n226\n\nPennsylvania\n\n6\n\n31\n\nTotal cash paid for income taxes (net of refunds)\n\n$\n\n3,021\n\n$\n\n2,617\n\nThe Company’s federal and state income tax returns for taxable years through 2022 have been closed for purposes of examination by the Internal Revenue Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.\n\n \n\n## NOTE 11 - REGULATORY MATTERS AND STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY\n\nThe Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. The Company is not subject to separate regulatory capital requirements because its total consolidated assets are less than $3.0 billion.\n\n66\n\nQuantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total, Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, that the Company and the Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the most recent notification from the regulators has categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.\n\nThe Company’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following table:\n\nTo be Well Capitalized\n\nunder Prompt\n\nFor Capital Adequacy\n\nCorrective Action\n\nActual\n\nPurposes\n\nProvision\n\nAmount\n\nRatio\n\nAmount\n\nRatio\n\nAmount\n\nRatio\n\n(Dollars in Thousands)\n\nAs of December 31, 2025:\n\nTotal capital (to risk-weighted assets)\n\n$\n\n253,769\n\n13.41\n\n%\n\n≥$151,423\n\n≥8.00\n\n%\n\n≥$189,278\n\n≥10.00\n\n%\n\nTier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)\n\n234,123\n\n12.37\n\n≥$113,567\n\n≥6.00\n\n≥$151,423\n\n≥8.00\n\nCommon Equity Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)\n\n234,123\n\n12.37\n\n≥$85,175\n\n≥4.50\n\n≥$123,031\n\n≥6.50\n\nTier 1 capital (to average assets)\n\n234,123\n\n9.65\n\n≥$97,086\n\n≥4.00\n\n≥$121,357\n\n≥5.00\n\nAs of December 31, 2024:\n\nTotal capital (to risk-weighted assets)\n\n$\n\n236,886\n\n13.45\n\n%\n\n≥$140,937\n\n≥8.00\n\n%\n\n≥$176,172\n\n≥10.00\n\n%\n\nTier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)\n\n217,625\n\n12.35\n\n≥$105,703\n\n≥6.00\n\n≥$140,937\n\n≥8.00\n\nCommon Equity Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)\n\n217,625\n\n12.35\n\n≥$79,277\n\n≥4.50\n\n≥$108,257\n\n≥6.50\n\nTier 1 capital (to average assets)\n\n217,625\n\n9.36\n\n≥$92,966\n\n≥4.00\n\n≥$116,207\n\n≥5.00\n\nThe Bank’s ratios do not differ significantly from the Company’s ratios presented above.\n\nThe Company and the Bank are subject to regulatory capital rules which, among other things, impose a common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement of 4.50% of risk-weighted assets; set the minimum leverage ratio for all banking organizations at a uniform 4.00% of total assets; set the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement at 6.00% of risk-weighted assets; and assign a risk-weight of 150% to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The rules also require unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt out is exercised, which the Company and the Bank have done. The rule also limits a banking organization’s dividends, stock repurchases and other capital distributions, and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.50% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets above regulatory minimum risk-based requirements. The Company and the Bank are in compliance with their respective new capital requirements, including the capital conservation buffer, as of December 31, 2025.\n\n \n\nPennsylvania banking regulations limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends or make loans or advances to the Company. Dividends that may be paid in any calendar year are limited to the current year's net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years. At December 31, 2025, dividends from the Bank available to be paid to the Company, without prior approval of the Bank's regulatory agency, totaled $16.0 million, subject to the Bank meeting or exceeding regulatory capital requirements. The Company's principal source of funds for dividend payments to shareholders is dividends received from the Bank.\n\n## NOTE 12 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION\n\nAt the Annual Meeting held on April 23, 2024, the Company’s stockholders approved the Norwood Financial Corp 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The maximum number of shares of common stock to be issued under the Plan is 500,000, provided that the maximum number of shares that may be delivered pursuant to the exercise of stock options (all of which may be granted in the form of incentive stock options) is 500,000 reduced by the number of shares issued as restricted stock and director retainer shares. The maximum number of shares of restricted stock that may be issued under the Plan is 125,000 shares and the maximum number of shares which may\n\n67\n\nbe issued as Director Retainer Shares is 50,000 shares. Any shares reserved under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan which are not subject to an outstanding award as of the effective date of the Plan will no longer be eligible for award. As of the effective date of the Plan, 56,569 shares were authorized under the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan which were not subject to an outstanding award. The types of awards permitted by the Plan include stock options (both incentive stock options and non-statutory stock options), restricted stock, and director retainer shares.\n\nAwards of restricted stock to Employees will generally be subject to a multi-year graded vesting period (such as one-fifth on each of the first five anniversaries of the date of grant). The vesting schedule for stock options and restricted stock awards for Employees will not be more quickly than at the rate of 100% of such Award on the one-year anniversary of the grant date of such Award, except in the event of the death or disability of the recipient or a change in control transaction occurring after the grant date. The maximum number of shares that may be awarded under the Plan in the aggregate as restricted stock to Employees as a group is 125,000 shares reduced by the number of shares of restricted stock awarded to all Outside Directors. The annual individual limit of restricted stock awards for an Employee is 11,200 shares, and the Plan limit for an individual Employee is 35,000 shares of restricted stock. The maximum number of shares that may be awarded upon the exercise of options to all Employees as a group is 325,000 shares reduced by the number of shares issued to Outside Directors upon the exercise of options. The annual individual limit of options that may be granted to an Employee is 15,000 options, and the Plan limit for the number of shares that may be awarded upon the exercise of options to an individual Employee is 50,000 options. Awards of restricted stock to non-employee directors will generally be subject to a 3-year graded vesting period (one-third on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant), subject to limited exceptions for death, disability, and change of control. The vesting schedule for stock options and restricted stock awards to Outside Directors will not be more quickly than at the rate of 100% of such award on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, subject to limited exceptions for death, disability, and change of control. Directors retainer shares which will be 100% earned and non-forfeitable upon the date of award. The product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of the Company’s common stock determine the fair value of restricted stock under the company’s restricted stock plan. Management recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of restricted stock on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.\n\nThe maximum number of shares that may be awarded under the Plan in the aggregate as restricted stock to Outside Directors as a group is 50,000 shares. The annual individual limit of restricted stock awards for an Outside Director is 1,200 shares and the Plan limit for an individual Outside Director is 12,000 shares of restricted stock. The maximum number of shares that may be awarded upon the exercise of options to Outside Directors as a group is 52,000 shares. The annual individual limit of options that may be granted to an Outside Directors is 2,000 options, and the Plan limit for the number of shares that may be awarded upon the exercise of options to an individual Outside Director is 10,000 options.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, there were 375,291 shares available for future awards under the Plan, which includes 255,000 shares available for officer awards and 0 shares available for awards to outside directors. Included in these totals are 75,649 shares available for restricted stock awards to officers and outside directors and 44,642 shares available for director retainer shares.\n\nTotal unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $295,000 as of December 31, 2025 and $249,000 as of December 31, 2024. Salaries and employee benefits expense includes $248,000 and $346,000 of compensation costs related to options for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Compensation costs related to restricted stock amounted to $528,000 and $375,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The expected future compensation expense relating to non-vested restricted stock outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $1,690,000 and $1,534,000, respectively.\n\nA summary of the Company’s stock option activity and related information for the years ended December 31 follows:\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nWeighted\n\nWeighted\n\nAverage\n\nAverage\n\nExercise\n\nIntrinsic\n\nExercise\n\nIntrinsic\n\nOptions\n\nPrice\n\nValue\n\nOptions\n\nPrice\n\nValue\n\nOutstanding, beginning of year\n\n220,600\n\n$\n\n29.78\n\n215,725\n\n$\n\n29.81\n\nGranted\n\n39,000\n\n29.80\n\n33,000\n\n27.25\n\nExercised\n\n(4,229)\n\n19.11\n\n(12,375)\n\n21.72\n\nForfeited\n\n(20,500)\n\n29.64\n\n(15,750)\n\n31.98\n\nOutstanding, end of year\n\n234,871\n\n$\n\n29.98\n\n$\n\n134\n\n220,600\n\n$\n\n29.78\n\n$\n\n112\n\nExercisable, end of year\n\n195,871\n\n$\n\n30.02\n\n$\n\n134\n\n187,600\n\n$\n\n30.22\n\n$\n\n112\n\n68\n\nExercise prices for options outstanding as of December 31, 2025 ranged from $22.37 to $36.02 per share.

The risk-free interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the awards are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected life is based on historical exercise experience. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts.\n\nProceeds from stock option exercises totaled $80,000 in 2025, compared to $269,000 in 2024. Shares issued in connection with stock option exercises are issued from available treasury shares or from available authorized shares. During 2025 and 2024, 4,000 shares and 12,000 were issued in connection with stock option exercises, respectively, all of which were issued from treasury shares.\n\nA summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity and related information for the years ended December 31 is as follows:\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nWeighted-Average\n\nWeighted-Average\n\nNumber of\n\nGrant Date\n\nNumber of\n\nGrant Date\n\nShares\n\nFair Value\n\nShares\n\nFair Value\n\nNon-vested, beginning of year\n\n54,484\n\n$23.07\n\n45,966\n\n$29.90\n\nGranted\n\n25,121\n\n29.64\n\n25,177\n\n27.25\n\nVested\n\n(19,331)\n\n29.37\n\n(12,309)\n\n30.24\n\nForfeited\n\n(2,147)\n\n28.99\n\n(4,350)\n\n29.98\n\nNon-vested at December 31\n\n58,127\n\n$29.12\n\n54,484\n\n$23.07\n\n \n\n## NOTE 13 – (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE\n\nThe following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share:\n\nYears Ended December 31,\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\n(In Thousands, Except Per Share Data)\n\nNumerator, net income (loss)\n\n$\n\n27,755\n\n$\n\n(160)\n\nDenominator:\n\nWeighted average shares outstanding\n\n9,265\n\n8,137\n\nLess: Weighted average unvested restricted shares\n\n(34)\n\n(44)\n\nDenominator: Basic earnings per share\n\n9,231\n\n8,093\n\nWeighted average shares outstanding, basic\n\n9,231\n\n8,093\n\nAdd: Dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock\n\n4\n\n—\n\nDenominator: Diluted earnings per share\n\n9,235\n\n8,093\n\nBasic (loss) earnings per common share\n\n$\n\n3.01\n\n$\n\n(0.02)\n\nDiluted (loss) earnings per common share\n\n$\n\n3.01\n\n$\n\n(0.02)\n\n69\n\nStock options which had no intrinsic value because their effect would be anti-dilutive, and therefore would not be included in the diluted EPS calculation, were 156,000 and 161,000 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock which was $28.05 and $27.21 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.\n\n \n\nNOTE 14 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS\n\nThe Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.\n\nThe Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments. The Bank’s ACL for off-balance sheet commitments was $267,000 and $423,000 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Bank recognized credit benefit of $156,000 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and credit loss expense of $127,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024.\n\nA summary of the Bank’s financial instrument commitments is as follows:\n\nDecember 31,\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\n(In Thousands)\n\nCommitments to grant loans\n\n$\n\n104,207\n\n$\n\n78,026\n\nUnfunded commitments under lines of credit\n\n156,924\n\n156,205\n\nStandby letters of credit\n\n5,820\n\n7,016\n\n$\n\n266,951\n\n$\n\n241,247\n\nCommitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer and generally consists of real estate.\n\nStandby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The majority of these standby letters of credit expire within the next twelve months. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending other loan commitments. The Bank requires collateral supporting these letters of credit when deemed necessary. Management believes that the proceeds obtained through a liquidation of such collateral would be sufficient to cover the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the corresponding guarantees.\n\n \n\n## NOTE 15 – INTEREST RATE SWAPS\n\nThe Company enters into interest rate swaps that allow our commercial loan customers to effectively convert a variable-rate commercial loan agreement to a fixed-rate commercial loan agreement. Under these agreements, the Company enters into a variable-rate loan agreement with a customer in addition to an interest rate swap agreement, which serves to effectively swap the customer’s variable-rate into a fixed-rate. The Company then enters into a corresponding swap agreement with a third party in order to economically hedge its exposure through the customer agreement. The interest rate swaps with both the customers and third parties are not designated as hedges under FASB ASC 815 and are not marked to market through earnings. As the interest rate swaps are structured to offset each other, changes to the underlying benchmark interest rates considered in the valuation of these instruments do not result in an impact to earnings; however, there may be fair value adjustments related to credit quality variations between counterparties, which may impact earnings as required by FASB ASC 820. There was no effect on earnings in any periods presented. At December 31, 2025, based upon the swap contract values, the company pledged cash in the amount of $350,000 as collateral for its interest rate swaps with a third-party financial institution which had a fair value $771,000.\n\n70\n\nSummary information regarding these derivatives is presented below:\n\n(Amounts in thousands)\n\nNotional Amount, December 31,\n\nFair Value December 31,\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nInterest Rate Paid\n\nInterest Rate Received\n\n2025\n\n2024\n\nCustomer interest rate swap\n\nMaturing November, 2030\n\n$\n\n5,366\n\n$\n\n5,766\n\nTerm SOFR + Margin\n\nFixed\n\n$\n\n471\n\n$\n\n729\n\nMaturing December, 2030\n\n3,474\n\n3,758\n\nTerm SOFR + Margin\n\nFixed\n\n300\n\n464\n\nTotal\n\n$\n\n8,840\n\n$\n\n9,524\n\n$\n\n771\n\n$\n\n1,193\n\nThird party interest rate swap\n\nMaturing November, 2030\n\n$\n\n5,366\n\n$\n\n5,766\n\nFixed\n\nTerm SOFR + Margin\n\n$\n\n471\n\n$\n\n729\n\nMaturing December, 2030\n\n3,474\n\n3,758\n\nFixed\n\nTerm SOFR + Margin\n\n300\n\n464\n\nTotal\n\n$\n\n8,840\n\n$\n\n9,524\n\n$\n\n771\n\n$\n\n1,193\n\nThe following table presents the fair values of derivative instruments in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.\n\n(Amounts in thousands)\n\nAssets\n\nLiabilities\n\nBalance Sheet Location\n\nFair Value\n\nBalance Sheet Location\n\nFair Value\n\nDecember 31, 2025\n\nInterest rate derivatives\n\nOther assets\n\n$\n\n771\n\nOther liabilities\n\n$\n\n771\n\nDecember 31, 2024\n\nInterest rate derivatives\n\nOther assets\n\n1,193\n\nOther liabilities\n\n$\n\n1,193\n\n## NOTE 16 – FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS\n\nFair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In accordance with fair value accounting guidance, the Company measures, records, and reports various types of assets and liabilities at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those assets and liabilities are presented in the sections entitled “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis” and “Assets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis”. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:\n\nLevel 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.\n\nLevel 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.\n\nLevel 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.\n\n71\n\nAssets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis\n\nFor financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (in thousands):\n\nFair Value Measurement Reporting Date using\n\nDescription\n\nTotal\n\nLevel 1\n\nLevel 2\n\nLevel 3\n\nDecember 31, 2025\n\nASSETS\n\nU.S. Treasury securities\n\n$\n\n20,857\n\n$\n\n20,857\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\nU.S. Government agencies\n\n7,675\n\n—\n\n7,675\n\n—\n\nStates and political subdivisions\n\n92,500\n\n—\n\n92,500\n\n—\n\nCorporate obligations\n\n13,551\n\n—\n\n13,551\n\n—\n\nMortgage-backed securities-government\n\nsponsored entities\n\n274,199\n\n—\n\n274,199\n\n—\n\nDecember 31, 2024\n\nASSETS\n\nU.S. Treasury securities\n\n$\n\n19,598\n\n$\n\n19,598\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\nU.S. Government agencies\n\n11,364\n\n—\n\n11,364\n\n—\n\nStates and political subdivisions\n\n87,274\n\n—\n\n87,274\n\n—\n\nMortgage-backed securities-government\n\nsponsored entities\n\n279,609\n\n—\n\n279,609\n\n—\n\nSecurities:\n\nThe fair value of securities available for sale (carried at fair value) are determined by obtaining quoted market prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1), or matrix pricing (Level 2), which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted market prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted prices. For certain securities which are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability, and such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence (Level 3). In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support on certain Level 3 investments. Internal cash flow models using a present value formula that includes assumptions market participants would use along with indicative exit pricing obtained from broker/dealers (where available) are used to support fair values of certain Level 3 investments, if applicable.\n\nInterest Rate Swaps:\n\nThe fair value of interest rate swaps is based upon the present value of the expected future cash flows using the SOFR swap curve, the basis for the underlying interest rate. To price interest rate swaps, cash flows are first projected for each payment date using the fixed rate for the fixed side of the swap and the forward rates for the floating side of the swap. These swap cash flows are then discounted to time zero using SOFR zero-coupon interest rates. The sum of the present value of both legs is the fair market value of the interest rate swap. These valuations have been derived from our third party vendor’s proprietary models rather than actual market quotations. The proprietary models are based upon financial principles and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable.\n\nAssets and Liabilities Required to be Measured and Reported at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis\n\nFor financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy used at December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows (in thousands):\n\nFair Value Measurement Reporting Date using\n\nDescription\n\nTotal\n\nLevel 1\n\nLevel 2\n\nLevel 3\n\nDecember 31, 2025\n\nIndividually analyzed loans held for investment\n\n$\n\n7,923\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n7,923\n\nForeclosed real estate\n\n771\n\n—\n\n—\n\n771\n\nDecember 31, 2024\n\nIndividually analyzed loans held for investment\n\n$\n\n9,363\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n—\n\n$\n\n9,363\n\n72\n\nIndividually Analyzed loans (generally carried at fair value):\n\nThe Company measures impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent third-party appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurements.\n\nAs of December 31, 2025, the fair value investment in individually analyzed loans totaled $7,923,000, which included 51 loan relationships with a carrying value of $5,492,000 that did not require a specific allowance for credit loss since either the estimated realizable value of the collateral or the discounted cash flows exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses on these individually analyzed loans in the amount of $0 over the life of the loans. As of December 31, 2025, the fair value investment in individually analyzed loans included 40 loan relationships with a carrying value of $2,976,000 that required a valuation allowance of $293,000 since the estimated realizable value of the collateral did not support the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses on these individually analyzed loans in the amount of $0 over the life of the loan.\n\nAs of December 31, 2024, the fair value investment in individually analyzed loans totaled $9,363,000, which included 34 loan relationships with a carrying value of $6,978,000 that did not require a specific allowance for credit loss since either the estimated realizable value of the collateral or the discounted cash flows exceeded the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses on these individually analyzed loans in the amount of $456,000 over the life of the loans. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value investment in individually analyzed loans included 34 loan relationships with a carrying value of $3,044,000 that required a valuation allowance of $659,000 since the estimated realizable value of the collateral did not support the recorded investment in the loan. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has recognized charge-offs against the allowance for credit losses on these individually analyzed loans in the amount of $0 over the life of the loan.\n\nForeclosed real estate owned (carried at fair value):\n\nReal estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are to be sold and are carried at fair value less estimated cost to sell. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. These assets are included in Level 3 fair value based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.\n\nThe following tables present additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:\n\nQuantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements\n\n(dollars in thousands)\n\nFair Value Estimate\n\nValuation Techniques\n\nUnobservable Input\n\nRange (Weighted Average)\n\nDecember 31, 2025\n\nIndividually analyzed loans held for investment\n\n$\n\n7,923\n\nAppraisal of collateral(1)\n\nAppraisal adjustments(2)\n\n0%-20.0% (7.51%)\n\nForeclosed real estate owned\n\n$\n\n771\n\nAppraisal of collateral(1)\n\nLiquidation Expenses(2)\n\n11.3% (11.3%)\n\nQuantitative Information about Level 3 Fair Value Measurements\n\n(dollars in thousands)\n\nFair Value Estimate\n\nValuation Techniques\n\nUnobservable Input\n\nRange (Weighted Average)\n\nDecember 31, 2024\n\nIndividually analyzed loans held for investment\n\n$\n\n9,363\n\nAppraisal of collateral(1)\n\nAppraisal adjustments(2)\n\n0%-50.0% (8.01%)\n\nForeclosed real estate owned\n\n$\n\n—\n\nAppraisal of collateral(1)\n\nLiquidation Expenses(2)\n\n0%\n\n(1) Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral, which generally include various Level 3 inputs which are not identifiable, less any associated allowance.\n\n73\n\n(2) Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and estimated liquidation expenses. The range and weighted average of liquidation expenses and other appraisal adjustments are presented as a percent of the appraisal.\n\nAssets and Liabilities Not Required to be Measured or Reported at Fair Value\n\nThe following information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Company since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Through its Community Office and automated teller machine network, the Company offers a full array of commercial and retail financial services, including the taking of time, savings and demand deposits; the making of commercial, consumer and mortgage loans; and the providing of safe deposit services. The Company also performs personal, corporate, pension and fiduciary services through its Trust Department.\n\nOperating segments are aggregated into one segment, as operating results for all segments are similar. Accordingly, all the financial service operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment, Community Banking.\n\nThe chief operating decision maker assesses performance and decides how to allocate resources based on net income that also is reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. Net income is used to monitor budget versus actual results.\n\n75\n\nThe chief operating decision maker uses revenue streams and significant expenses to assess performance and evaluate return on assets and return on equity. The chief operating decision maker uses consolidated net income to benchmark the Company against its competitors.
